Starcraft is a Real Time Strategy game, so neither. It's along the lines of Warcraft (the original ones, not WoW), Battle for Middle Earth, Command & Conquer, all the Total War games, Age of Empires (and all variations), and a good deal more.
They're basically the games where you have a little starting place with a couple workers, and you tell them to build you houses, farms, barracks, etc. After you build up everything, you SLAY THE ENEMY WITH YOUR SKILL. Of course, it's a lot more in-depth than that, but hopefully you've heard of those kinds of games before
On topic: Zenonia, Dynasty Warriors 6 (friggin all characters level 50 achievement), and Rock Band 2.
